    Cryogenic thermometer

    I made an accurate (0.1F) LCD cryogenic thermometer for one of my projects. It goes down to -400F using an RTD probe. I am curious if I put together a kit, or just assembled one, would anyone be interested in buying these? Does anyone have a need for a low-cost cryogenic thermometer?

    I am thinking of getting a 3d printer to make the enclosure and thought this would be a good project to start with.

    I have to get a 3d printer to make a professional casing. I can post a picture tomorrow of the current version in a standard project box. All the parts have 15ppm temperature drift and is accurate to 0.1F. I have to total the parts, but it will be close to $100. The unit will run off an AC/DC wall adapter. Units that don't even get to cryogenic temperatures sell for over $300 on mcmaster-carr

    I'd be interested in seeing the design. I would also gladly sacrifice some accuracy (0.5 C / 1 F accuracy should be enough for most overclockers) if it meant a significant cost reduction.

    There are cheaper 2-channel thermometers with data logging and other advanced functions, so I don't think there will be a big interest, if any.
    If it was $20, then maybe.

    Just an example: UNI-T UT322
